Luxurious and indulgent, Toust transforms a familiar comfort food into a monument of sensuous abundance. Heinz Schönhammer’s oil on canvas depicts a lavish croque madame in glorious exaggeration—cheese cascading in molten waves, yolk gleaming like a jewel, and soft pink ham folding between slices of golden, toasted bread. Every element appears touchable, edible, larger than life.
The painting plays with scale and desire, inviting the viewer to revel in excess. Shadows and highlights are used sculpturally, turning cheese into silk and bread into velvet. The saturated palette of creams, golds, and blues lends the work both warmth and richness, making the composition feel both hyperreal and dreamlike.
Toust is not simply a depiction of food—it’s an invitation to indulge in visual pleasure. Schönhammer elevates the mundane to the magnificent, with every drip, ooze, and fold rendered in delicious detail. This exceptional artwork is currently on display and available for sale at Signet Contemporary Art Gallery and online.
Artist Biography:
Heinz Schönhammer was born in Vienna, Austria. After completing his fine art studies, he sought artistic inspiration across Europe, traveling to the Netherlands and Germany before eventually settling in Turin, Italy. There, he established significant connections with notable Italian artists such as Antonio Carena, Lucio Fontana, and Piero Ruggeri—broadening his artistic horizons and influence.
In 1975, Schönhammer relocated with his family to Meran in South Tyrol, where the breathtaking Alpine landscape became a powerful source of inspiration. It was there that he refined his distinctive style, which blends photorealism with a deeply personal pursuit of harmony and beauty.
Schönhammer is renowned for his mastery of Hyperrealism, a genre that demands extraordinary attention to detail and an analytical eye. His work reflects a deep enthusiasm for the aesthetics of balance and tranquility, making his paintings emotionally resonant and visually arresting.
Over the course of his career, Schönhammer has received widespread acclaim from both critics and collectors. His work has been mentioned in major art journals such as Arte Italiana per il Mondo and Bolaffi, as well as in encyclopaedias highlighting artists of international relevance.
He has exhibited widely in solo and group shows across Europe and the United States, including in Vienna, London, New York, Los Angeles, Salzburg, Düsseldorf, and Dallas. Today, Heinz Schönhammer continues to live and work in his native Vienna, where he remains dedicated to his artistic practice.
